mooneyflyer Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Checkout the Vintage Mooney Group at www.vintagemooneygroup.com. This is a fabulous group that does a fly-in most months to different locations in the Western USA. You can also meet existing members and often Mooney Service Center folks who will provide endless valuable information.

eaglebkh Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Unfortunately, there's nothing like this in the Eastern US that I know of. But hopefully I'm wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboExec Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Quote: mooneyflyer Well, I can fix that. I head up the Vintage Mooney Group here for the Western USA. If you want to start a VMG for the NorthEast or SouthEast, then let me know. We will support you with website support, informal training, and checklists for fly-ins... Let me know... it is a lot of fun. Phil N5722Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgePerry Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Phil, thanks for getting back to me. What I had in mind was March/April Mooney fly in to PVG. It's right in the heart of the mid atlantic states making trip distance not too bad for anyone who wants to come. There are three navy hornet pilots that all keep our Mooney airplanes there. We could possibly set up a tour of the Navy base and F-18 flight line as part of the activities. That's the first thought that comes to mind, but I'm sure I could also set something up with local businesses or maybe our nearby Mooney service center. Just ideas right now...looking for feedback to see if interested merits more effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooney_Allegro Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm very interested in an east coast Vintage Mooney Pilots Group to form and would participate in whatever you have planned. My parents, Bill and Sue Newton use to belong to your group on the west coast flying out of Thermal, Desert Resorts Regional, Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport, whatever the current name of that airport is. They flew down to Mexico with you guys and had a great time. Looking forward to something starting soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Morris Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 There IS already a Southeast Mooney Group! They try to meet every 4th Saturday, usually somewhere in GA or FL. http://www.southeastmooney.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboExec Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I haven't heard anything from the SoutheastMooney group....do you happen to have contact info for who ever runs it? Doesn't look like they have done anything since May '08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N207LS Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I too would be interested in a Southeast Mooney group. I fly a 1968 M20G out of KSPG (Albert Whitted - St. Petersburg, FL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeinFL Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi Aaron. I own a 1968 M20F and am based in Whitted as well. It's the one with the red tail over by the Terminal building. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6843N Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well for all you guys that want a Vintage Mooney Group I can tell ya its real easy to do. Richard Todd And I started the VMG one morning in his hanger in Big Bear, and I gotta tell you I am damn proud of how it has blossomed. All ya got do is send out post cards to all the registered Mooney owners in your area and they will come. The first couple years was a lot of fun for us. I moved to MI in 2005 so I can no longer attend. I miss that aspect of the west coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airkraft Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Speaking of vintage Mooney's, was it TurboExec with the super original E model? How about an update on progress and flying status...GK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooney65E Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nice site! Lot of members...some familiar faces. It's always nice to put a face with a name or a plane with an N number. I remember attending a VMG in Northern CA about 8 or 9 years ago when I was living in So Cal. Since moving North to Idaho, I've been out of of my old loop. Looking forward to flying to gatherings in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
